Giulio Masetti

Masetti acquired his first car, a 4.5-litre Fiat S57 B14 from Antonio Ascari, in which he was fourth at X Targa Florio (1919), and won the XII Targa Florio (1921).

The next year, he won XIII Targa Florio in his privately entered red ex-Otto Salzer 1914 French Grand Prix Mercedes 4.5-litre 115 HP 18/100 (1922).^[3] Masetti then raced an Alfa Romeo RL TF (second at XIV Targa Florio, 1924) before joining the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq team. He was third in a Sunbeam 135 bhp 2-litre at the 1925 French Grand Prix,^[4] but failed to finish the San Sebastián Grand Prix (1925) and the II Rome Grand Prix (1926).

He suffered a fatal accident in Sclafani Bagni, Sicily during the XVII Targa Florio while driving entry #13, a Delage 2L CV.^[5][6] A stone plaque is erected at the place.^[7] Since this incident, the entry #13 is no longer issued at Grand Prix events.^[8][9]
